I have similar experiences to Ron, Sunman. My computer is relatively new (1 year old), and my browser software is even newer. These sorts of whoops did not occur five years ago. Something has gone bump in the dark in the website software. The question is what and how to fix it, assuming it is fixable.

Follow on thought ...

This is a screen that I get relatively frequently when attempting to log in, Brent. It might be helpful in your efforts to track down the gremlins.

— The website s/w will not upload the screen shot attachment — <=My words not the website s/w.

It turns out I can’t upload the actual screen image because the website s/w says the 28KB jpg file of the screenshot fails to upload.

A second attempt produces words on the upload screen that say:

Safari can't open the page "www.clubcobra.com/forums/newreply.php?
do=postreply&t=147291" because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.

Hope these cookie crumbs help in diagnosing the whoops.
